Synopsis

Covering the basic principles, this book covers aspects of homogeneous, heterogeneous, organo-, bio- and computational catalysis. It discusses catalyst preparation, catalyst characterization and reactor engineering, and explores recent developments in the understanding of catalytic mechanism, such as operando spectroscopy. Several important case studies using industrial applications are given. It is an integrated approach ideal for graduate students from a range of backgrounds, including catalysis, engineering and organic synthesis.

About this title

From the Inside Flap

Encompassing an integrated approach to the various aspects of catalysis, covering heterogeneous, homogeneous, organo-, bio-, and computational catalysis, as well as reaction and reactor engineering on an advanced level, this textbook is ideal for graduate students with diverse backgrounds, including catalysis, engineering, and organic synthesis.

The basic principles of the various fields of catalysis are introduced in a concise way, preparing the reader for the more advanced chapters. Organometallic chemistry, surface science, biochemistry, nanoscience, transport phenomena and kinetics, reactor and reaction engineering are presented, spanning from the underlying science to industrial applications. Several important case studies on industrial applications are given. It includes catalyst preparation and characterisation and explores recent developments in the understanding of catalytic mechanisms, exploring advanced techniques such as operando spectroscopy.
